Rega phono cart,s that can be used without spacer

Not true..You can use just about any cartridge you want ..I have a P3/24 and use the RB301 tonearm with no spacer I have mounted with great results, a Denon DLl10 and a Nagaoka MP200 both great cartridges...If you want to use heavier carts,you might have to upgrade the counter weight to a(recommended- groove tracer). And IF you did want to use a taller cartridge you can buy the spacer and install it yourself, its not hard. Whoever is telling you that Rega is a hard to work with table probably does not sell them or own one.

Also, Boofer it helps to Not use any rubber mats or cork or felt or anything that would make you have to raise your VTA.....If the table uses a glass platter upgrade to Acyrlic and get a good record clamp like a JA mitchell. Clamping the record to the platter makes the record as thick as the platter. Heavier records like 180 gram and over usually sound better right? Using mats of any kind DECOUPLE the record and makes the sound dull and unexciting. I'm sure you will work it out :-)

I run a MP200 on my P3/24...no spacer.with the RB301.
